Bouncy Time

As Banks' legs have gotten busier and busier, now to the point of moving and kicking constantly, I decided it was time to buy a bouncer. It takes up a ton of space in our living room, but Banks LOVES it!

Go Tigers

I pulled out Banks' first "official" Clemson onesie and Patrick said we needed some photos. Patrick rarely initiates picture taking, so I obliged!

On a walk with Rollins:

Carly's Birthday Weekend

Banks, Demi, and I celebrated my Birthday in Greenville with my parents, while Patrick played in the annual Bishopville Country Club golf tournament. We both enjoyed some time with our parents in our home towns. I had fun shopping, getting my hair chopped off (it was all falling out anyway because of preggo hormones), and even got a mani-pedi.

GQ Spread

Did y'all know that Banks is a GQ model?! Not really (hopefully not ever), but he sure did pose on the Potters' black leather couch when we went to Jillian's first Birthday Party!

And one with the precious Birthday girl:

Upside Down Banks

Bank's newest trick is being upside down. He thinks it's hilarious to push himself backwards and look at everything upside down. Wide open!

Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday, we went to church at Capstone, where we've been visiting. Then we went to Greenville to celebrate Greek Easter at Aunt Sophie's house. Everyone loved meeting and seeing Banks.

Patrick picked out his Easter outfit, which was given to us by the Dunns.

4 Months

Wow, how this precious baby has developed a personality. He is so vocal, with squeals, giggles, screams, and every vowel sound. He has certainly learned that noise=attention. He thrives on making eye contact with people, and smiles the biggest grin when someone looks at him, especially familiar faces. His hand, along with anything else he can reach, are constantly in his mouth. He still loves blankets, and will grab them and cover his face. He is just starting to find his feet, occasionally able to grasp one. He is still sleeping in the room with is as of right now. He slept in his crib upstairs for 4 consecutive nights (2 while I was in New Orleans) , but starting on the 5th night he would cry as soon as we'd lay him down.

He had a good 4 month check-up. He was in the 40th percentile for length and weight. He had grown 2.75 inches since his 2 month check-up, and weighed 14.15lbs.
